You’re not ever LATE! You’re a full time working PROFESSIONAL! We’re lucky to have your CHANNEL! Your energy is amazing, your family is so very lucky to have YOU!
Apologies for the late upload! I’m late for everything, story of my life 😆 eta: someone mentioned JVN uses they/them pronouns - thank you for correcting me!
I haven’t even finished the video and I have to comment that you are legit mom of the year. Pool time, sleepover, pasta bar, breakfast, chauffeur service, movie….what don’t you do?! My kids are too young for this stuff but this inspires me to do stuff like this when they’re older.
Good on you for making the children help clean! It’s so important for everyone in the family to work together to make your home. Glad u all enjoyed your Fourth! TFS.
Most of this was filmed during my 44th bday weekend (7/3)..I’ve been dealing with a little food insecurity so I haven’t been watching as much, but Ive missed seeing your content, so I’m back..I love how relatable and real life you are. Thanks for all your hard work, and spreading some joy 😊
I have hyperhydrosis and stopped wearing makeup and paying dear to get my hair done in my late 20’s. I’m now 59 and for the last 5 years I have taken an incontinence tablet which stops the sweating. I also don’t wear jackets at most I wear a cardigan, I live in Scotland so it’s cold 300 days of the year lol. But I no longer feel embarrassed about the sweats. I’m so hungry now for bbq x
"Even though, as a female in America, I do not feel a sense of freedom right now..." I'm 1 minute in and I tried to like the video 3 times. I literally love you
The potato salad looked good. Such a classic. It seems each family has a unique traditional version of potato salad. My mom makes rice Krispy treats with peanut butter melted with the marshmallows. Very good.
Yea! A video! I find it so interesting how each family has their own special potato salad recipe and we all think ours is the best. Lol You always go the extra mile in everything you do. Great ideas for holiday food. Hope you guys had a great day! The rain here on thst day was done by 10 am and then it heated up! Have a great week!
Jen, love, love, 💕 all the hard work and time and energy you put into each video! You give me so much motivation! I use to be a nurse, retired now due to disability. But I do have a 12 y/o and love watching things you get for the kids and your choice of different kinds of groceries and ideas of what to make! You make each and every video such a variety and a real pleasure to watch. Just FYI on the shampoo and spray. I’m new to the Olaplex, I have very curly frizzy hair that’s really hard to manage in the summer time in Tx with the high humidity. I love the new Olaplex you can just really tell when you use it. I read about it and your only supposed to use it like once or twice a month, but I swear it changes the feeling of your hair! I also sometimes don’t use any conditioner in the shower, I get out and spray the CHI keratin mist, I feel like it really helps with tangles when air drying and doesn’t frizz so bad. Then the next day sometimes I use a little dime handful of the CHI oil and it makes it so smooth and shiny! On a side not u mentioned your mother in law made chocolate cherry cake. Do you know the recipe? It sounds so good! Hope you had a great holiday and thank you so much for all that you do! You are a TRUE blessing, wishing you and your family all the health and happiness!🌻🌼🌸🌹
I love your pasta bar… My oldest is starting K this fall, and I definitely want to be “that house” that my kids want their friends to come to. You’re awesome! 🥰
Please please I don’t mean this negatively. I was kind of sad that you felt not to really celebrate the 4th. I know things are not perfect and lots of things are spiraling right now. However, I am still thankful to live in the United States of America 🇺🇸. I pray for those that are suffering around the world. Grateful for those who fought and died for our Country and still are putting their lives on the line every single day. Love you & your sweet family!! God bless you all. Brenda.
@@ES-mv1hb so thankful your lives changed for the better! I have to say I understood when Jen was meaning , she feels that we have a long way to go. I will just always be thankful just like you. God bless you and your family!! 🇺🇸♥️🎉
Hi Jen! I am so happy I found your channel! I have been binge watching you for two weeks now and loving it so much! I love your content, sense of humor, your glasses and tank tops! Please keep these great vlogs coming, I am addicted! 🤩
Thank you so much for this video, Jen! You are so inspirational and you always make my day when I watch you. I love all the things that you share, watching you is not only entertaining but informative as well. I cannot wait for the vintage dinner video, X
Hi Jen, when your spuds are done instead of using the paring knife to take the skins off in the fashion you showed, use the tip to draw a score around the girth of the potato, then grasp either end and twist, one hand one way and the other hand in the opposite direction. The skins should just slip off so the are 2 pieces of skin in your hand and a naked spud. Please give it a go on film so we can see you do this. ( if you have to practice first? ) but honestly it's so easy!
Great pro tip on boiling potatoes. I see too many you tube cooks cutting up potatoes then putting them in boiling water! Potatoes are supposed to be started in cold water so they cook through evenly. I’ve never seen Alpine seasoning, though so I’ll be looking for it. Great video.
I love pressure cooker mac & cheese! 😍 ETA that I’m glad to see Adam in jeans! My husband had a mishap with a handsaw on Memorial Day. He always wears jeans when he intends to cut things, but it was a last-minute decision while he was out on our property. He was wearing shorts and the handsaw caught on a vine he was cutting. He was all alone, but had the presence of mind to sit down and hold his leg wound closed. Somehow he managed to call me at home - it was pretty chaotic while I dashed around for medical supplies (we have since addressed that problem - all the medical gear is now in one spot), but we got him bandaged up, out of the woods, and down to the ER in under an hour. 13 staples and six weeks later, he’s on the mend. Thankfully, though the cut was deep, it did not hit any major blood pathway!
Finally someone who doesn’t peel potatoes when cooking for potato salad. We either for exactly the same reason you stated. It’s the way I was taught! Haha, we peel the same way too!
The way Jen did it is the way I learned from my mother. It’s not the way I do the potatoes now. I peel, dice and steam them. Takes half the time and they are not soggy
On the Krud Kutter. I too have a black range and followed your lead and ordered it. I just love it. Last week I was shopping at Walmart for WD 40 when I happened upon Krud Kutter. They stocked it in the hardware area near all of their liquid items. I had previously searched their cleaning supply aisle and never found it. lol
Our kids were not able to go to the pool this year on the 4th. They are having staffing issues and are closed all the time lately!! Loved the pasta bar, we are going to try that, looked easy and yummy! I like that patio set, ours doesn't have it's own covers.
You're such an awesome mom Jen, thank you for the video. I love making sushi at home. I like using sashimi grade tuna from a seafood market, but it's too pricey now so I will use shrimp or crabstick as well. Cream cheese/cucumber is a good combo, and I think mango/jalapeno/cream cheese is yummy as well 🤗
I’m late to the game but Ticket to Ride is my favorite board game. It’s 5 player but my husband and I play it almost every night after dinner. We love it!!
Jen I couldn't find the cleaner name n info on it ? I found it hair products but , not info on the stove cleaner ? I can really use that , I have a blavk stove n that one u use seems to really do the job on it stove .Can u pls send me the name n info on it ,I would appreciate it ty Jen . 🌻
While you were talking, I punched in alpine seasoning. Up popped Amazon. So, you can get it there. I didn’t actually go to Amazon to check it out, tho. This was a fun video.
Very excited for that vintage video coming up! The deer is so beautiful. A very huge blessing to have her and them there :) The watermelon cut up like that with the blueberries so nice. Loved this all. Hugs
So fun to cook for a crowd, I do miss it. I hope you write down the potato salad recipe for Kiera. The deer, oh my, was it me or did she look, 'girlish/feminine' ? Thanks for another great video!
im really sorry you feel that way - but you. have way more freedom than women everywhere else in this world - just take a look at afghani women - if you were there you would not even be allowed to go to school, so please save it.
Yes, women in Afghanistan have far less freedom than those of us in the United States, which is precisely why having our freedoms taken away is so concerning.
